Section 2: Deploying the Bucket
Bambi MAX Service Manual
– Models HL4000-HL9800 9
Instant Deployment System (IDS)
The instant deployment system uses a hub and spoke mechanism to automatically expand the mouth of the
bucket as soon as the weight of the Bambi MAX is taken up by the suspension cables.
When the bucket is full, the IDS deployment cable and hub restrainer cables should be slack as they should
not bear any load. Their function is to position the hub and spoke mechanism to hold the bucket open.
To deploy the IDS on the ground, reach in-to the bucket, grasp the hub of the IDS and pull outward fully
until the two restraining cables from the hub to the lower bucket shell are tight.
The IDS restraining cables are set at the factory and normally should not require any adjustment.
Correct IDS position.
